Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

  Chapter 713 Common ground and sense of violation

A few days later.

  Zaoying University Department of Psychology, staff office.

   "Sorry, Ogiwara-san, I called you to the office suddenly.

  I have reconsidered what happened last time, and I am willing to accept your proposal to cooperate with you. "

"Eh…?"

   "Ahem..."

  Masato Yamazaki coughed, with a gentle smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha, speaking slowly.

   "Also, what I said before was a bit too much.

  I'm sorry, the teacher encountered a little unpleasant thing in his life at that time, so he made a very bad behavior of venting anger, I hope Ogiwara-san will not take it to heart.

  I sincerely apologize to you here, I am really sorry. Please also forgive my indiscretion and momentary confusion. "

   After speaking, he bowed his head deeply, and assumed a correct attitude as if facing his peers.

   "Eh? That, eh? Not... eh!?" Sayu couldn't help being confused, and waved her hands at a loss.

   "You are being polite, please don't be like this! I really can't bear you to treat me like this, Professor Yamazaki...!"

   "Sorry for causing trouble Ogiwara-san, will you forgive me?"

   "Okay, okay, I'm so happy! It's better to say that I should apologize here, because I came up to disturb you when you were in a bad mood..."

   "Oh, that's a bad statement. It is undoubtedly my negligence to bring emotions to work. Ogiwara-san, you don't need to comfort me."

   "Huh? This..."

   "Okay, let's not worry about this, let's talk about business."

   Masato Yamazaki waved his hands in a friendly manner, like an old man with a heart of old, without any airs.

   "I want to ask, about the volunteer problem you mentioned last time, Ogiwara-san, has it been resolved now?"

   "This..." Sayu shook her head in frustration, "Not yet, sorry to disappoint you."

   "Hey! What? What's the disappointment? What's the disappointment? Isn't this just right!"

"…ah?"

   "What I mean is, I plan to include the practice of public welfare activities into the credits of our department.

  Those students who are willing to participate in activities can get extra credits in this way. Doesn't this just happen to go to your association? "

   "Well, it would be great if you could, but I heard about you from the seniors..."

  Sayu was anxious and didn't finish her sentence, but Masato Yamazaki naturally understood her subtext, and only felt that "papa" on his face hurt.

   "Oh, Ogiwara-san, you mean that I asked them to suspend the psychological counseling service? Actually, I was going to tell you this.

  The teacher either disagreed with them to help, or felt that they were not professional enough to guide others, and it would be bad if they delayed those girls.

  Don't worry, I will personally lead the team to the scene to guide and supervise. "

   "Eh!? Professor Yamazaki, are you coming?" Sayu was dumbfounded.

  "That's right. Didn't you say you would invite me to be a consultant last time? So I'm going to take up the post with a thick skin, but I don't know if you think of me as an old man." Masato Yamazaki accompanied him carefully.

   "No, that, of course I am willing! Rather, please be sure! This is an honor for our association!"

  Sayu's tone was excited, and her fair almond face blushed a little because of the excitement, exuding a beautiful girlish aura.

   "Hehe, that's good, that's good." Masato Yamazaki rubbed the corner of his mouth that was almost frozen in laughter, pretending to ponder for a moment.

   "In addition to our department, I will talk to the principal about this matter later, and see if I can provide you with some support."

   "Eh? Is this true!? Well, won't this bother Professor Yamazaki...?"

   "No trouble, just take it as compensation for my previous attitude."

   "This... thank you very much! Professor Yamazaki."

   "Okay, I have to make some arrangements next, let's talk about this first."

   "Ah, okay, then I won't bother you, Professor Yamazaki goodbye."

"See you."

  After watching Sayu, who walked briskly, leave the office, Masato Yamazaki sighed deeply, and his whole body became sluggish.

  If he hadn't been caught by someone, how could he compromise with a little girl?

  It's a pity that I have to bow my head under the eaves now, I can only smash my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

  The regret in Masato Yamazaki's heart!

  If he had been more cautious at the beginning, he would not have fallen into the current situation.

  Thinking of this, he simply deleted Twitter and all kinds of dating software on his phone, and came out of sight and out of mind.

   After sitting like this for a while, he sighed and got up to work.

  …

  Sayu, who returned to the association, shared her joy for the first time.

  At that time, Serizawa Yuki was counting the use of supplies, and couldn't help but be surprised from ear to ear after hearing this, and couldn't help but yelled "Wow".

   "Whoah, Sa, Sayu-san! Does this mean... We can finally solve the problem of shortage of manpower!?"

   "Yes~! You have worked hard all this time, and there will probably be volunteers to support us tomorrow!"

   "Great, great~~~!"

  The two girls jumped up and down happily, immersed in joy, and it took a long time for them to subside.

   "That's right! Xiaoxiang and Mami-san haven't come back yet, so I'll tell them the good news now."

  Serizawa Yuki took out her mobile phone in high spirits, and immediately wanted to take action. Seeing this, Sayu stopped her in time.

   "Ah, no need Xiao Xi, I have already notified Xiao Xiang and Mami. They are still in school and will come back later."

   "So that's how it is~ As expected of Miss Sayu, she's so efficient!"

   "Well, thanks..."

   "Speaking of which." Serizawa Yu turned her face with a question mark on her face, "Why did Sister Sayu's mentor suddenly change his mind? Wasn't his previous attitude very firm?"

It is worth mentioning that.

  Sayu didn't intend to tell everyone about the fact that she was made things difficult at first, but this matter was somehow spread by some gossip people, causing Asami in the Department of Literature to hear the news.

  As soon as Mami knew about it, Serizawa Yuu naturally knew about it too.

  The two scolded Sayu very much at the time, thinking that she was too outsider, but it turned into a consolation meeting in the middle of the talk, which made people feel heartwarming and helpless.

  Sayu couldn't help thinking about this, with a soft and warm smile on her face, and then she shook her head lightly.

   "To be honest, I don't understand Professor Yamazaki's thinking. But... thanks to everyone, the association can barely survive until now."

   "Ah, Sister Sayu, did you forget to mention yourself?"

  Yu Serizawa raised a finger in a serious manner, and spoke in an emphatic tone.

  "Although Miss Mami did find a lot of helpers for the association, including Xiaoxiang who also introduced Aunt Qianqiu...

  But isn’t Miss Sayu always helping those girls with psychological counseling? I think this is a very important thing! "

   "Xiao Xi..."

   Sayu murmured, and then smiled.

   "According to this, Xiao Xi, who prepares food for everyone every day, is the most powerful person~?"

   "Huh? No...how can it be?" Serizawa Yu waved her hand shyly, "Anyway, I only have cooking expertise, if I can help everyone..."

  Looking at Serizawa Yu who looked shy, Sayu couldn't help but patted her head.

   "Xiao Xi is really sensible, if only you were my younger sister~"

   "Hey hey, I actually thought about having a sister before... Ah, I'm not saying Brother Yu treats me badly, it's just that some things are hard to say to my brother."

   "Hmm~ I understand! My brother feels the same way. So, I remember Xiao Xi, you are the only child, right?"

   "Yes, I have always been an only child, including the family of my uncle who later adopted me, and they didn't have any children of their own. I didn't have a brother until Brother Yu found me~"

  Serizawa Yu said so with a refreshing expression, a pair of big round eyes shining brightly, obviously very satisfied with the current life.

   Sayu asked curiously: "Can you tell me about the process of meeting you and Yusuke?"

   "Hmm~ yes! Let me think about it. I was sitting and worrying under the electric poles in the alley nearby because I was hungry all day, and Brother Yu came up to talk to me."

   "...Then he took you home? This kind of behavior is really easy to misunderstand."

   "Well... this, because I really needed a place to live at the time, so I was mentally prepared for that..."

  Yu Serizawa scratched her cheeks embarrassingly, blushing and said:

   "But Brother Yu just gave me a lot of money, and he didn't have those thoughts about me, including arranging for me to live with Xiaoxiang later. I'm still... a virgin."

  By the end, her voice almost died.

   And Sayu also became embarrassed, and hurriedly said:

   "S-That's right, I'm sorry, but I said something strange. Uh... this old-fashioned place looks like Yusuke."

   "Um... yes, yes."

  The two looked at each other with a dry smile, and it was a bit difficult to speak for a while.

   "Ahem..."

   In order to break this delicate atmosphere, Sayu coughed lightly, and changed the subject with a red face.

   "Thank you, Xiaoxi, for telling me this~ I may have misunderstood all along. Maybe the reason why Yusuke established this association is for you? This kind of warmth is really good~"

   "...No, I don't think so." Yuu Serizawa shook her head lightly.

"What?"

   "Well, how should I put it? Not so much because of me, I think Brother Yu is more like an association established because of Sister Sayu..."

"Huh…?"

  Yu Serizawa stared at Sayu's face and spoke with a subtle expression.

   "My words may sound a bit strange, but Brother Yu occasionally looks at me with very lonely eyes, as if he is looking at other people.

  I didn't know who Brother Yu was thinking of at the time, but now that I think about it, I think that person is probably Miss Sayu..."

"Eh-?"

  Sayu couldn’t help being startled, and when she was about to ask more—

   "Ding Dong~"

  Suddenly the doorbell sounded from the direction of the entrance.

  After opening the door, the person standing outside is Chiaki Shinjo.

   "Excuse me, Xiao Xi, I've already prepared dinner for those girls, do you want to come to the next door to have a look?"

   "That's it~! Well, then I'll go now, Aunt Qianqiu. I'm sorry, Sister Sayu, I'll go to work first."

   "Ah, yes, please go ahead." Sayu waved lightly, watched the two leave with a smile, and then slowly walked back to the living room.

   "It's not looking at Xiao Xi, it's looking at me... What do you mean...?"

   She was talking to herself, always feeling a little restless.

  It would be fine if she and Xiao Xi look alike, but they are obviously not alike at all?

   Just wandering around the room repeatedly.

  For some reason, the feeling of uneasiness has not been relieved, but has become stronger.

"strangeness…"

  In order to suppress this feeling of weirdness, she went to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water, and drank all the water with a "gurgling~".

   "Xiao Xi and I, what do we have in common..."

   Confused murmurs are sucked into the air of the room.

  A certain sense of disobedience eroded her heart, hovering in her heart like a dark cloud, lingering.

   Standing in front of the kitchen for a long time, the perception of the outside world has dropped significantly, until—

"…what are you doing?"

  A hand was placed on her shoulder suddenly, Sayu trembled and almost screamed, but held back after seeing the person who came.

   "...What, it turned out to be Xiaoxiang..." She pressed her thumping left chest with lingering fear, and complained: "Really, don't scare me~~~!"

   "I've already greeted you, but you didn't respond for a long time. Is there something wrong?"

   "Huh? Ah, no, I'm just in a daze..."

   "In a daze...?" Xintiaoxiang looked suspicious, her eyes flicked back and forth on her face, obviously not believing this explanation.

   "Oh, Xiaoxiang, don't look at me like that, I'm serious! I was chatting with Xiao Xi just now, and she said something that caught my attention."

   "What did Xiao Xi say?"

"Um…"

  Sayu was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was not impossible to say, so she recounted the conversation between herself and Xiao Xi.

  Xintiaoxiang listened casually, let out a faint oh, and then said nothing.

   "That... I want to ask, Xiaoxiang, do you think there is any similarity between me and Xiao Xi?"

"do not think so."

   "Uh, but I don't think Xiao Xi should have lied..."

   "Well, I didn't lie. When she said that to the president, that Kato-san and I were there."

   "He actually said he was there! Did Yusuke say anything?"

"have no idea."

   "He actually said he didn't know! Please think again, could it be Xiaoxiang that you forgot?"

   Sayu asked anxiously, shaking Shinjoka's shoulders back and forth with both hands, causing the latter to look at her with disgust.

   "You give me enough time, how can I forget what the president said?"

   "So did he react in particular? I think it's important to me..."

   "You have to ask Kato-san about this. The president attaches great importance to her. If it is said that the only person who may know something is her. However, that side rejects you very much."

"Well…"

   Sayu pursed her lips unwillingly, thinking hard.

  …

   Thank you [Luwan Sun Yifeng] for your tip.
